Chapter 63: The Robbers
Sometimes, the old thief Glorydon had the same eye for words and expressions as he did with his sour tooth crossbow.
Urs did not hesitate to raise his eyebrows when he heard the captive man's words and thought of the druid. As a non-native who holds the soul of a player in his body, the black-haired young man knows that Danar Beareye is the leader of the unknown Shadow Druid Order in the depths of the Spotted Axe Forest, and that the Sawtooth Camp in the northern part of the Spotted Axe Forest is the stronghold of the bandits deep in the forest.
Led by a bandit leader named Angdor, the bandits who haunt the forest until they are exterminated by the player's adventuring team in the game, often target their evil intentions at the hunters, workers, women and children near the logging village, and if they find a lone hunter, they will take advantage of their numbers and plunder the hides and bows and arrows they carry, and in the latter three cases, take the villagers hostage and demand ransom from the village. Depending on the situation, good-looking women and children were sold to slave traders with whom they kept secret contact.
During the Year of the Candle, the Shadow Druids of Danar Beareye and the bandit gang of Angdor are two forces to be reckoned with in the Spotted Axe Forest.
Danar Beareye wants to use Angdor's power to send nature's wrath and cruelty to outsiders who dare to trespass into the forest, while Angdor does not want to be an enemy of his druid neighbors, so they maintain a delicate balance, guarding against each other, but not interfering with each other's actions and ideas, and not cooperating.
When the players in the game raided this area of the Spotted Axe Forest, they adopted the tactics of breaking down one by one to break down the respective resistance forces of the two families, and finally successfully wiped out these two evil forces.
"But according to the meaning of that guy's words, Danar Beareye sends a few beasts every two or three days to send a bag of gold to Camp Sawtooth, and the leader of Camp Sawtooth during this period should be Angdor...... Could it be that Angdor's was replaced by Bear Eye? Or, they're teaming up now? Because I really seem to have accidentally triggered some hidden plot in Twilight? Ignoring Grolaydon's inquiry for a moment, Urs raised his right hand and tapped it lightly on his lips under his nose, sorting out what he knew in his mind.
In the past, interacting with people and analyzing information was not his forte. In the case of negotiations, a fully equipped team will send out a clever bard, and at the worst there are other members of the team who are slightly more charismatic. The work of analysis often belongs to the mage, and the mage's high intelligence will be rewarded with an attribute bonus on the action check related to using the brain.
In his previous life, he was neither a poet nor a mage, but a warrior, and he chose a berserker known as a mad dog for his advanced class. Grinding his mouth and brains are not suitable for him, charging into battle is his forte, and that kind of blood with his back to heaven can be said to be the supreme romance and even faith in the hearts of every warrior player.
Although he was not good at thinking, the black-haired young man tried his best to smooth out the new clues in his mind, and at the same time devoted a little energy to continue to pay attention to Sawyer's violent interrogation of the bandit captive, and the half-elf female ranger leader Ekarila seemed to think of something at this time, and sat in her chair and suggested to Sawyer: "Ask him if he knows anything about the Warcraft, Captain Shaved." ”
As a ranger, Ekarila Lin Ying has a relatively reliable sensitivity to natural things. Sawyer Boots turned his larger-than-normal head to look at Lady Ranger, then took her advice and turned back to glare at the robber captive, "I guess you know what you're going to say next, right?" Well?! ”
"The beast sent by Bear Eye to send us money has a strange light in its eyes, and it is slightly larger than a normal animal, maybe it is the kind of monster you are talking about." The captured robber attacker swallowed, "Well, Mr. Adventurer, can you move your dagger a little away?" Just move out of the way a little? ”
"No, I won't remove my dagger, because you haven't said where your robbers' den is!" Sawyer reminded him, still in a threatening manner, "If you dare to hide it, I will let you die a very unpleasant death, just like a child in the slum who peels the skin of a rat in a garbage heap with a rusty piece of iron, digs out the internal organs and kneads them in his hands, and squeezes them to vent his usual resentment of being bullied...... Oh, Warnes is on top, filthy memories! How do I feel like you look more and more like that mouse? ”
“…… Our leader's name is Angdor, and he has built his stronghold a little north of the forest. The robber captive took a breath of cold air, and after hesitating for a while, he still felt that he had better not provoke this little halfling madman who seemed to be mentally abnormal.
The bandits of the Sawtooth camp had always punished the betrayer with direct execution, and he knew what would happen to him when he returned to the camp for betraying his compatriots, but that would have to wait until he got back to the camp. Sawyer's rat story sounded a bit chilling, he didn't know what hell the loud-voiced halfling had as a child, but he didn't want to be the rat, not at all.
His eyes betrayed inner wavering. Sawyer was very satisfied with this situation and asked him further: "Go on! What does your chieftain named Angdor have to do with Bear's Eyes? Who exactly is Bear Eye? Angdor is your leader, and Beareye is your employer? Who of you listens to whom? ”
"By the way, I can detect your lies through the spells of prophecy." Carlos Loew seized the right moment to add, "So you'd better not take chances and show off your cleverness in front of a mage, which will bring disaster to you." ”
Of course, the number and variety of spells a mage can cast per day are limited by a rule called spell slots. Whether Carlos could detect his lies or not, the robber captive who had resigned himself to his fate did not know, just as he did not understand the mystical knowledge of the mage, but he now knew that if he was not careful, he could become a disembowelmented "rat".
Fear can bring a person to their knees, and after one time, there will soon be a next.
The robber captives didn't dare to resist, and lowered their heads and explained honestly: "The leader said that Bear Eye is a special animal trainer. The Lord Chieftain takes his money, makes a certain agreement with him, and then arranges for us to do things for him. As for the content of that agreement, I am not in a high position, so I am not qualified to know, but I know that the leader said that Twilight City will definitely send adventurers to support the logging village, so he told us to prepare for an attack on you before evening. ”
